The Air Force has ordered a service-wide day-long stand-down to focus on suicide prevention. The stand-down comes as the Air Force deals with a significant increase in suicides over last year. As of August 1st, 78 airmen had taken their own lives, 28 more than last year. More airmen were lost to suicide than to combat. At Hurlburt Field – which has lost four airmen to suicide since 2018 – the stand-down is scheduled for today. At Eglin, the tactical pause will be held September 3rd.
